Modelling radiation spectrum of a discharge with two liquid non-metallic (tap-water) electrodes in air at atmospheric pressure

The emission spectra of a column of a direct-current discharge in open air which is performed between two tap-water electrodes (two tap-water flows) are studied in the 240–450 nm spectral range. A comparison of the values of spectral emissivities is made between experimental spectra and the calculat...

Summary:The emission spectra of a column of a direct-current discharge in open air which is performed between two tap-water electrodes (two tap-water flows) are studied in the 240–450 nm spectral range. A comparison of the values of spectral emissivities is made between experimental spectra and the calculated spectra. The emission spectrum calculation is made for four molecules, N 2 , O 2 , NO and OH that are present in air plasma. The first part of this paper focuses on building the spectra calculation; the required data are detailed. In the second part, rotational, vibrational and excitational temperatures are determined with the Boltzmann distribution assumed on the quantum states. For that purpose, a comparison of the modelled spectra and the experimental spectra is made in the different parts of the discharge column.
